Or take it another way: Since in our view this universe
stands to that as copy to original, the living total must exist
There beforehand; that is the realm of complete Being and
everything must exist There.
The sky There must be living and therefore not bare of stars,
here known as the heavens- for stars are included in the very
meaning of the word. Earth too will be There, and not void but
even more intensely living and containing all that lives and
moves upon our earth and the plants obviously rooted in life; sea
will be There and all waters with the movement of their unending
life and all the living things of the water; air too must be a
member of that universe with the living things of air as here.
The content of that living thing must surely be alive- as in this
sphere- and all that lives must of necessity be There. The nature
of the major parts determines that of the living forms they
comprise; by the being and content of the heaven There are
determined all the heavenly forms of life; if those lesser forms
were not There, that heaven itself would not be.
To ask how those forms of life come to be There is simply asking
how that heaven came to be; it is asking whence comes life,
whence the All-Life, whence the All-Soul, whence collective
Intellect: and the answer is that There no indigence or impotence
can exist but all must be teeming, seething, with life. All
flows, so to speak, from one fount not to be thought of as one
breath or warmth but rather as one quality englobing and
safeguarding all qualities- sweetness with fragrance, wine-
quality and the savours of everything that may be tasted, all
colours seen, everything known to touch, all that ear may hear,
all melodies, every rhythm.
